Do Yamaha do a Pacifica in SSS config? you can get HSS configs with wibbly bar as well for under $500. Pacifica's get very good reviews and I know there are a couple of forumites who like them.

Daza, if you want to play with building a Strat, this is where you start. And if you don't buy this, I will. OK?
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

I've got 3 SX necks that I love just bloody well made... dunno who does them but they're such a good base.
So, is that low alcohol or no alcohol at all? mmmm, no alcohol, do you want to try it? Noooooooooo.

there was an LTD srat on trade me.
I would look at that first.
There are still some that think the neck PU is moved to accommodate the extra frets which only proves they cannot detect the difference in length of each.

If you are serious about music and having a guitar that makes you sound good you need to spend a lot of money. Little things like strings coated with nickel iron oxide really do make a difference. It takes time to get these things though.
